Carol Alt Disses Kate Upton, Calls Her A ‘Large Size Model’

The 53-year-old model looks stunning on the cover of ‘Galore,’ and inside the former ‘Sports Illustrated’ cover girl of 1982 weighs in on Kate Upton, (who covered the mag in 2012 and 2013). Carol admits that she isn’t impressed with the up-and-coming star! Do you agree with her opinion? VOTE.

Long before Kate Upton covered the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Carol Alt found herself on the cover of the annual issue in 1982 — and after posing for the mag she was catapulted to fame, posing on over 500 mags in the ’80s…and she’s still at it today! The 52-year-old looks amazing on the cover of Galore, and inside she wasn’t afraid to share her opinions on Kate Upton — even if that meant dissing the 21-year-old model!

Carol Alt Disses Kate Upton — ‘Galore':

While Carol admires Kate for the way she branded herself and made the most of her career after landing the cover, she did call her figure into question. “I think Kate is a product of great media hype. Without Sports Illustrated, I’m not sure she would’ve made it in the industry as a high fashion model. Because she is more of a large size model. And even if I’ve seen her in person, and I don’t think she’s in any way fat or overweight or anything. She is just more large-size than fashion models are. I think Kate is very good at hmmmm, how do I put it? She’s engaging. She comes to the set prepared to work, and in a good mood, she engages her client, and she looks at herself as a business. To expand more on that thought, what I’m trying to say is: after she got herself into Sports Illustrated. She wasted no time. She put together a team of people: agents, managers & publicists that were ready to go regardless of whether or not she got the cover. They were willing to take the chance. Once she got the cover she was already in a position to move forward. Of course, the cover was just a fluke. Because nobody knows who gets the cover. But she looks at herself as a business, and I admire that,” she told Galore.

Carol Alt On Karlie Kloss & Cara Delevingne:

Although Carol may not think Kate has a figure that’s right for fashion, there is one supermodel of today that she praised — Karlie Kloss! “I know one thing, I’ve seen Karlie Kloss’s body and I wish I had it!” Carol also addressed whether or not the current stack of It-girls, like Karlie and Cara Delevingne, lived up to the hype of the supermodel era.

She said, “I can’t really be the judge of whether or not today’s girls live up to being supermodels. Back in the day, it was about the wide variety of clients you had, the number of days you worked, the number of covers you had. For today’s girls it’s about how much money you make and the number of Twitter followers you have! What I actually mean is the criteria has changed.”

Carol is right about one thing — the industry has certainly changed. Now models can really hone their own voice through social media, and it makes them more accessible to their fans. What do you think? Do you think the model was right about Kate or do you think it was petty for her to criticize her figure? VOTE.

This is an interesting topic. Here’s the thing. Although Kate Upton is not the typical waif type model, I find her to be absolutely stunning. Her face is perfect and I like that she looks healthy and like she doesn’t have an eating disorder. I think to call her large is wrong because she isn’t. She is simply curvier than fashion models. The fact that young girls look up to these women makes me glad that Kate Upton is so popular and is doing so well. #teamkate #healthybodyimage

People think of large as a pejorative word and it isn’t necessarily. Too bad, that one commentator thought Carol was being old and bitter, I don’t think she was. She was stating a fact, high fashion models are anorexic so they can be like hangers and have the clothes hang on them, Kate does have the lush body of a large size model and it’s good, with role models like her and the woman who plays Joan on Mad Men it shows you don’t have to a figure of a prepubescent girl to look sexy (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) as the fashion world would have us believe.

Think you’re attracted?

Geeez… A sad, jealous, old woman. I love how she tries to pretend she is not slinging a catty insult by complimenting Upton and insulting her a breath later. Just like women are trained to do by other women from a very young age. And I am a woman, but I am sick of this mean, petty jealous, sneaky way of knocking down other women. You had your day when you were a supermodel and were considered the height of beauty Ms. Alt. Why must you try and deprive this girl of hers. Its not up to you whether she is a big model. Its up to the industry and to whether people respond to her and sorry but a lot of people are digging her real woman curves. Don’t worry the trend will swing back to sickly and anorexic eventually, it flip flops every few years. Thats fashion, it’s a lowly trend not a lofty science, so get over yourself.

Geeez… Another sad, pathetic pro-Upton apologist. The only reasons Upton has a career is because she comes from a billionaire family, and because all her magazine pics are cropped and heavily photoshopped to hide the fact that she’s built like a loaf of bread. And you can drop the old ‘anorexic’ defense. There are other body types out there other than ‘anorexic’ and whatever the hell WEIRD-A$$ body type Upton is.

Thank you….I’ve been writing this all summer long. I’ve been called a “hater” but she is just not model material. She has an awful body…..long shapeless legs, no butt, no hips, flabby belly. Just like I knew, it’s all about her “family”. That’s the only way she got to be on “Sports Illustrated”. Then, watching her walk, she can’t even strut like “models” do. She probably needs to model “bras” for maybe VS or some other brand. Only the top half of her body should be shown.

To all of you than continuously defend miss Upton, for whatever reasons…
The thing here is, we are talking of a young person that doesn’t earn $50 bucks, no, she manages millions of dollars into an industry that every year treats thousands of young models like toilet paper in every casting they go.
This young models aspirants, as many of American girls look millions times better than this lady, either they could be skinny or chubby or large sized simply because they have BODY FIGURE, they have waist, hips, buns, nice shaped legs (wide or slim but they are even formed) and even better built breasts that it is probably the only attribute, besides her eyes that I would consider this woman has.
It is unbelievable, how people can say that someone is jealous for speaking the truth and believe that we are against large size ladies that it is not the issue!!! for Crist sake, we are talking of a VS and IL model!!! Those hypocrites companies had made us believe that their models are immaculate and out this world, well Kate Upton certainly does not!!! in fact, all of you don´t find irritating, the fact that chubby girls have better figure than her and are being criticized all the time?!!! Besides, they don’t get a dime for their troubles, so I think it is time that we stop supporting people like her and stand up for all those ladies that doesn´t have a crew that defend them. And by the way, not only me, but several of my friends (male friends)aren´t buying VS lingerie any more, we prefer buying from a company that happens to be more honest with the consumers. Period

Kate has beautiful curves. She looks like a real woman. This is what men want. Sure, she has some huge boobs, but even if she was 2 cup sizes smaller she would be smoking hot. It isn’t all about those boobs. She has a butt, hips and looks soft and sensual yet fit. Carol Alt looks like a skeleton, as most of these models do. Kate, if you ever happen to see this story, don’t change a thing. I don’t think a woman out there should be any smaller or less curvy. You’re a beautiful woman, and you won’t look like bad sculpture when you’re older like so many other previous supermodels. Too bad you probably aren’t in to men twice your age, or I’d ask you to dinner! :)

Kate Upton does not have ‘beautiful curves’. She has big floppy tatas and a large fatty gut with fat rolls. She also has the butt and legs of a teenage boy. Beyoncé has curves. Learn the difference! Moron!

Cara delevingue is ugly I cannot stand her karlie is ok and Hilary Rhoda looks like a man. Kate is not very fit and a little too much jiggle even in the face, but atleast she looks like a.girl. Carol alt is still gorgeous I have to say

I hate when journalist twist words around. Carol Alt was just stating facts about the industry, she wasn’t bashing Kate. I understand were she is coming from and I think its the press who is making a big deal about Kate’s size. Kate Upton is a gorgeous woman and I believe it is okay to celebrate anyone that is beautiful regardless of size. You don’t see Kate walking down a runway. She knows she is not industry standard but that doesn’t make her any less of a model. The press need to leave her alone about her body. I honestly think it’s not showing our youth a positive reality by honoring bodies like Karlie and Behati. Even though they are beautiful women, it’s gross when I can see Karlie’s bones on her chest (I don’t know the technically term for that) or when you can see through Behati’s legs because they are sticks. We all need to stop accepting super skinny as a norm and just celebrate the woman body for what it is….beautiful!

Carol needs to put the claws back in and stop hating.Carol Alt is 5’10 128 pounds 34b 25 34 and Kate Upton 5’10 125 pounds 33 25 36 there’s is hardly any differences to heights and weights for her to be saying Kate is a large size model.Looking at the picture on top Carol’s boobs look bigger than Kate Upton’s.Carol is still beautiful and really back in the day all the super models we loved were famous not just because of work ethic it was also popularity.If anything looking at the measurements above Kate upton weighs even lesser than Carol the only difference is kate has 2 inches bigger hips, big whoop.Carol is jealous she mentions 2 of the ugliest models I’ve ever seen Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevigne she thinks those two uglies are super model material?.She thinks Karlie Kloss at 140 pounds 6’1 32 23 34 is super model material at 140 pounds even for that height she would be a large sized model.Cara Delevigne at 5’8 119 pounds 31 24 34 seems scrawny for a supermodel ,now can stop bull crapping us with her delusions?.

It’s not about height and weight, you idiot. It’s about BODY SHAPE! A woman can be ‘fat’ and still have a nice shape, just as a woman can be skinny and have a dreadful figure. Upton’s shape is dreadful. She’s shaped like a refrigerator on stilts.

Carol is absolutely right. Upton marketed herself to young boys. I am a years older than Carol, and she was the most beautiful model I have ever seen, and I am 63 so I watched them all. I love fashion and I love how Carol never look plastic or raunchy in her photos. She is just beautiful. When I watched her show on Fox she doesn’t have that phoney personality. I also listen to her about healthy eating. I truly don’t know how Kate Upton made it in that business.
